Established in 1860. GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1899. Grandfather’s Dream. Grandfather sat in his big arm chair Fast asleep. The wrinkles that ran o’er his wan obi face Were furrowed deep. The tangled web of his beard hung from His cheek and chin. White as the falling snow the winds Gambol in. His hard, brown hands were crossed above His walking staff; And we hushed to silence the talk in the room, And the laugh. For we saw a smile from his parted lips Spread o’er his face, As a ripple runs over a tranquil lake From its starting place. We guessed some vision of the long ago, Anchored deep In the okl man’s soul, was drifting doxf Through his sleep. What was that dream? Did his child hood come * And leave a map Os all his early playing grounds There in is his lap? Or was it a winding orchard path In the twilight dim, And his children’s mother, a girl again, Walking with him? Perhaps, through time’s long telephone, He heard a coo And felt a baby hand on his cheek, As he used to do. Sure we were some radiant joy He had met somewhere Had come to visit the old man there Asleep in his chair. But soon his hands dropped from his staff, And drooped his head; And those who came and went that day Talked of the dead. Ae talked only of pearly paths In a summer land, Where his children’s mother walked with him, Hand in hand. For now we knew her angel face, Glad in the gleam Os a golden city awaiting him, Was grandfather’s dream. Electric Road to Dawsonville. Now that an electric railroad is to be built from Gainesville to Dahlonega on the “Price road,” just here is an oppor tune time to mention the fact that there is a survey and a railroad partly graded from Dawsonville to Leathers’ Ford, con necting with the Price road at that point, a distance of about eleven miles, on which an electric railroad could be read ily and cheaply built. Would it not be aavisable for our peo ple to look into the matter and see if there is not a chance for Dawson*, illo ri get into the electric railroad swim? Our agricultural, mineral and timbered lands would be opened up by such a road. Let’s look up the matter at once. This road would make our county “blossom as the rose,” as it were, and now is no time for procrastination. —Advertiser. August Flower. “It is a surprising fact,” says Prof. Houtou, “that in my travels in all parts of the world, for the last ten years, I have met more people having used Green’s August Flower than any other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged liver and stomach, and for constipation. I find for tourists and salesmen, or for persons filling office positions, where headaches and general bad feelings from irregular habits exist, that Green’s Aug ust Flower is a grand remedy. It not injure the system by frequent use, and is excellent for sour stomachs and indigestion.” Sample bottles free at E. E. Dixon & Co.’s, Gainesville, Ga. Sold by dealers in all civilized countries. A $/oob Hall. The bid for the building of the Bost wick Hall at the college being considera bly higher than the committee expected last week it reported against its erection, but the board of trustees met and de cided to accept the lowest bid and go on with the work as more room was needed at the college in order to be able to accommodate the increased number of students which the institution is having of late years. W. H. Summers of Deca tur, Ga., put in the lowest $6,856, who was notified that his would be accepted.—Nugget. "f am Hale and Hearty Now/ J Mr WS tyJl JL wlfFlF f ire n vi hM IV I V* I / " \ ' writes C. B. Hill, of Marshall, Mich., ! “a living proof of the efficacy of Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure. I have suf fered 20 years from heart trouble, and became so bad I could not lie down to sleep. Physicians failed to help me, and 1 was advised to try j Dr.Miles’ Heart Cure, which benefited ! me from the first. 1 continued using ' it and now am in perfect health.” DR. MILES’ Heart Cure is sold by all druggists on guaranty? first bottle benefits or money back. Book on heart and nerves sent free. Dr Miles Medical Company, Elkhart Ind.' j BITS OF THE LAW _ i , Doled Out to Many According to Their Needs. The superior court took a recess last Saturday at noon until this morning. This adjourned term will be short and will probably not last through the week. In the case of A. O. Smith vs. Van Hoose & Pearce, Judge Reagan directed a verdict in favor of the defendants. It will now be carried to the supreme court for a final decision. Ex-Tax Collector T. L. Robinson, who was on trial as we went to press last Thursday, was convicted of embezzle ment and recommended to the mercy of the court. The jury was out from 4p. m. Thursday until 9 a. ,m. Friday. Mr. Robinson was sentenced to pay a : fine of S3OO or serve twelve months in the chaingang. A motion was made for ! a new trial, and if this is not granted the case will be carried to the supreme court. The case has attracted widespread atten tention, and a report of the shortage, which occurred during the years Mr. Robinson was tax collector, has been published. Mr. Robinson does not look like a criminal and many believe that he is not a willful one, but that his neglect of duty has wrought his ruin. His attor neys claim that criminal prosecution is barred by statute of limitation. Bose Freeman, colored, charged with an assault with attempt to rape on the persons of Mrs. Elizabeth Potts and her daughter, Miss Maggie, on the night of the 17th of March last, was tried Thurs day. After evidence was introduced it was so evident that Freeman was guilty that the case was submitted to the jury without argument. A verdict of guilty was reached in a few minutes after the jury retired and the Judge sentenced Freeman to serve 20 years in the peni tentiary. The colored population was consider ably interested in the trial of Bill Wat son, colored, who was charged with lar ceny after trust, having, it was alleged, appropriated funds belonging to the col ored Odd Fellows’ lodge while treasurer of that order. The jury found him not guilty. After the court took recess last Friday afternoon the bar held a meeting and the following resolutions were adopted:, Whereas His Honor, E. J. Reagan, of the Flint judicial circuit, has presided during the present week in Hall superior court; be it Resolved by the members of the bar of Gainesville, and of the Northeastern circuit: That we hereby desire to express our high appreciation of Judge Reagan as a jurist and a gentleman. > That we congratulate the state that a man of his force of character, clear and analytical mind and legal acumen, has been added to the judiciary. That he has presided at our court with the utmost dignity and yet has been formly courteous to all having business before him as counsel, parties, officers or witnesses. That he has disposed of business with extraordinary dispatch, and yet without the least hurry or confusion. That the dignity of his bearing, his clear and satisfactory rulings, clean cut, helpful charges to the juries, and firm but kind and impartial manner of dis pensing justice, have impressed all in at tendance with renewed respect for the law and courts of justice. That we extend to Judge Reagan, upon his departure, our sincere well wishes for his personal welfare, and trust that his service upon the bench will prove as pleasing to himself as we are satisfied it will be beneficial to the country. Judge Reaga. then addressed the bar and said that he d never been treated with a greater degt. of courtesy than while here and that he 1 d not met with a local bar anywheie v a possessed greater legal ability than that possessed by the members of this bar. Privately, be said that we had a couit house which we should feel proud of. He also said that we had largest court room he had entered in this state. He had been in the magnificent court houses in the large cities, but none was so commodious as this one. A Good Cough Medicine for Children. “I have no hesitancy in recommending Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy,” says F. P. Moran, a well known and popular baker of Petersburg, Va. “We have given it to out children when troubled with bad coughs, also whooping cough, ri»nd it has always given perfect satisfac i tion. It was recommended to me by a druggist as the best cough medicine for children as it contained no opium or other harmful drugs.” Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is for sale by M. C. Brown & Co., druggists. j Morgan Lawman Kills B. H. Anderson. Benjamin H. Anderson was killed by I Morgan Lawman, his brother-in-law, in i the upper part of Dawson county last Tuesday morning. . Quite a number of men had met at a certain point to work the roads. Morgan Lawman, who was said to be drinking, and without provocation, raised his shovel and struck Anderson three licks across his forehead, crushing his skull. Anderson fell with a groan and soon ex pired. Lawman escaped. Sheriff Roper and a large posse have gone in pursuit of Lawman. Several of ! Anderson’s sons are in the posse, and should Lawman be arrested it is pre ■ dieted that Judge Lynch will take charge. The parties were brothers-in-law. Lawman is a violent man, while Mr. Anderson was one of our very best citi zens and leaves a large respectable family. Late Thursday evening news was re- I ceived that the sheriff and a posse of i forty or fifty men thought they had Law j man located and surrounded in a moun i tain cave. Lawman is reported to be well armed and will defy arrest to the last, while the posse is well fixed for the fray and will take Lawman at all hazards. The people of that community have offered a reward of some three or four hundred dollars for the apprehension of Lawman. —Advertiser. From Dahlonega Nugget. Onions are now retailing at one dollar and twenty cents per bushel in Dahlon ega. J. At. Oliver, who owns all the tele phones in Gainesville, was up to Dahlon ega this week accompanied by his wife, looking over the mines, who, like other visitors, were surprised at the amount of work being done here. We understand the Dahlonega C. G. M. Co. expects to erect about 20 cottages on the lot recently purchased from W. P. Price, Jr. This week Joe Postell of Union county brought over a ground hog and sold it to a negro at Porter Springs for $2. The negro failed to pay him and legal proceedings were commenced which resulted in the negro having to pay $3.20 to get the case settled. At this time more hands are coming to Dahlonega than can get employment. They are flocking from every direction. Wait till they start grading the railroad. Then you can get plenty to do. Capt. Asbury of White county was in Dahlonega a short while last Tuesoay. He says that another mining boom will strike the upper part of the county in a few more days. In reference to the smallpox in that county the Capt. says there are no new cases, and the four negroes who have it will soon be well. Uncle Die k Anderson, an old time negro, wears a little asafoetida and sul phur tied up in a rag and swung to his neck. He says this will prevent him from catching the smallpox. This might be a good way to keep the kissing bugs off. A telephone hne will be built from Gainesville to Atlanta and it will not be many more months before you can sit here in Dahlonega and converse with anyone you desire in Atlanta. Oh, what a progressive age we are living in. We asked a stockholder of the Dahlon ega Telephone Co. last Saturday if he believed the line from here to Gainesville would pay. His reply was that he “had rather own the telephone than any other kind of business in Dahlonega.” There is but one inmate at the paupers home now, who is a female of 60 or 70 summers and she may not be there long as it is said she wanted to marry. Any single man desifing to wear the matri monial robe and prefers his and another’s heart to beat as one can now be accom modated by letting it be known. Capt. W. J. Worley exhibited to us last Sunday a liye adder with two heads and four eyes. It was captured by John Skinner near New Bridge a few days ago. He killed the old one and nineteen young ones and was about to get in his deadly work on this‘one when he discovered it had two heads. It is between eight and ten inches in length and was given to Capt. Woriey to bring up and show what strange things they had down that way. Another belled buzzard was seen down in the lower part of the county the other day by Gus Hyden. This makes the third or fourth one having been discov ered in that neighborhood within the past few weeks. The old mother buz zard must have raised several of this kind down there. Prof. Joel Mann Martin, of Perry, Ga., has been elected principal of the Dahlon ega graded school at a salary of SSO per month, who has accepted and will be here by the first of September to begin the first session of this institution. The Professor is highly educated, being a graduate of the Peabody Normal School of Nashville. CUKE FOR CHOLERA INFANTUM. Never Known to Fail. During last May an infant child of our neighbors was suffering from cholera infantum. The doctors had given up all hopes of recovery. I took a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar rhea Remedy to the house, telling them I felt suie it would do good if used ac cording to directions. In two days time the child had fully recovered. The child is now vigorous and healthy. I have recommended the remedy frequently and have never known it to fail.—Mrs. Burtis Baker, Bookwaiter, Ohio. For sale by M. C. Brown & Co., druggists. From Dahlonega Signal. Prof. B. M. Hall, Max and Warren Hall, the civil engineers of the Dahlon ega railroad, spent last Sunday in the city. It is said the route these gentle men are now surveying is a fine one. Mr. M. D. Hudson received a check recently from the “Consolidated Com pany” to the amount of SSOO for one hundred thousand bricks, to be used in the erection of the smelting furnaces here. About 200,000 bricks will be required in the completion of the plant. Mr. H. H. Brown, one of Gainesville’s foremost carpenters who is at work for the “Consolidated,’’ went down home on Saturday last and spent the Sabbath most pleasantly with his family. Mr. Ratliff Palmour of Dawson county was among friends here on Tuesday. Mr. Palmour moved his sons and daughters here about two years ago to educate them at the N. G. A. College. He is very much pleased with the progress his children are making in school and will have them remain until their education is completed. Working Night and Day. The busiest and mightiest little thing that ever was made is Dr. King’s New Life Pills.

Only 25c. per box. Sold by M. C. Brown & Co., druggists. Revilee Patrick Re-captured. Reyilee Patrick, col., is again behind the iron bars. He was captured last Tuesday night at the “Battle Branch” mine, near Auraria, by R. A. Martin and Floyd Cox and brought in. His freedom was of a short duration and will probably be the last be will have for many years to come.—Dawsonville Advertiser. #I.OO Per Annum in Advance. ABSALOM. Farmers all happy. The rains have descended and vegetation is ascending. Absaiom has two schools. Prof. Parks is teaching at Pleasant Hill. A hustler he is. Miss Julia Oliver is teaching the Wingo school. All goes along smooth at her school. Clint McKinney is home from Santiago de Cuba. He has served three years for Uncle Sam—says he has enough of sol diering to do him. Says the Cubans are a sorry lot. Cute Gunter passed through here on bis way to Sand Mountain, Ala., on a visit to relatives with a two-mule wagon and a buggy loaded. Bud Mooney bent some poles over his wagon bed and he and his better-half went along for the fun of the trip. We heard it hinted that there was a jug carried along as baggage. Well, what about that bridge at Coop er’s Mills? We are tired of waiting. Red Hot From the Gun Was the ball that hit G. B, Steadman of Newark, Mich., in the civil war. It caused horrible Ulcers that no treatment helped for 20 years. Then Bucklei/s Arnica Salve cured him. Cures Cuts, Bruises, Burns, Boils, Felons, Corus, Skin Eruptions.

Little Sallie, the five-year-old child of Mr. Dock Turk, was bitten Sunday by a 1 rattlesnake. The little girl bas been very sick from the bite. The wife of Mr. Jim Pirkle died at her home near Chestnut Mountain last Sun day. She was a good Christian woman about 40 years of age. Mr. Charles Edwards and Miss Julia Cross were married in the road near Flowery Branch last Sunday by ’Squire Albert Mooney. Revs. Piikle, Sloan and Higgins have been conducting protracted meeting at Mulberry church the past week. Many of our young people attended. Brave Men Fall Victims to stomach, liver and kidney troubles as well as women, and all feel the results in loss of appetite, poisons in the blood, backache, nervousness, head ache and tired, listless, run-down feel ing. But there’s no need to feel like that. Listen to J. >V. Gardner, Idaville, Ind. He says: “Electric Bitters are just the thing for a man when be is all run down, and don’t care whether he lives or dies. It did more to give me new strength and good appetite than anything I could take. I can now eat anything and have a new lease on life.” Only 50 cents at M. C. Brown A Co.’s drug store. Every bottle guaranteed. From Flowery Branch Journal. Mr. I. F. Duncan and W. P. DeLaper riere closed a contract June 26, to put up a merchant’s mill with three sets of run ners, at I. F. Duncan’s gin and the work was begun last Monday. Mr. J. E. Sloan has the contract to do the rock work and build the house. Mr. Bailey, the man who built sheriff Mundy’s mill, has the contract to put in the machinery. The proprietors expect to put up a mill equal to the best in North East Georgia- A young cyclone struck Mr. John Stringei’s place on Monday evening of last week. It demolished his well shel ter, moved his store house about eight feet aud did considerable damage to crops and timber. Sell Miller killed two hawks and a number of squirrels Saturday, and two more hawks on Monday. He did not state how many he killed on Sunday. Sell is a sight with his little Spanish rifle. Mr. B. Williams, who runs a public thresh, says the acreage planted in wheat this year was much larger than last, but the yield much less. He threshed a lit tle above 4,000 bushels this season.

Wooding of Maysville should make the race for congress. The elec tion is a long way off but the office bee is buzzing in the bonnets of many. We do not know Mr. Wooding’s sentiments but he is a strong citizen and would make a close race, and a valuable public servant. Judge Hill went Monday into Poplar Springs district, to Lula and Bellton on a mission on investigation as to the pre vention of the spread of smallpox in those communities. He saw men going about their daily avocations actually with scars on them, others expecting to break out at any time. There are a number of cases in Banks county and on the line, some in the Dodd settlement. And as we understand, there is not now nor has there been any effort made to prevent the spread of this dreaded disease. It is only a question of time when it will be spread all over Banks county, unless some steps are taken to prevent it. The G. & D. Survey. The railroad survey from Gainesville to Dahlonega is not completed yet. The Price survey was found to be all right as far this way as New Bridge, but in en deavoring to come via of Auraria so as to come by the Barlow mine w* under stand that the grade is heavier than they desire at Martins, between New Bridge and Auraria. So they went back from Auraria to New Bridge Tuesday and will run a survey up Mill Creek by Bony Tank’s mill which is believed to be a better route. —Nugget. NUMBER 31. From Alpharetta Free Press. Tom McCleskey has a hog that can beat the record when it comes to jump ing. When first purchased, this shote jumped out of a pen that was 8 feet high, and Tom winked his eye off and hinted that he believed the thing could jump over the moon if it had a little practice. There is talk of having a fiddler’s con vention at Alpharetta about the third Saturday in August. All the common, country fiddlers in the land are to be invited, and prizes offered for the best music. If the convention is to material ize The Free Press will give the par ticulars later on. Tax Receiver P>ates has completed his books for this year. There is a decrease of about $27,000 in the returns. If th’’s thing continues it won’t be long before our taxes will be unbearable. The grand jury should look into the matter. There is at least half a million dollars worth of property in this county which is not returned for taxation. We noticed on the digest that one fellow had returned his farm at about $2 75 an acre, and it is one of the best farms in the county. There are scores of others who return their property at less than half its value. This thing ought to be righted by the law. City Cotton Crop—6,ooo Bales. Hon. J. M. Kirk writes from Moravia, Texas, to the Schulenberg Sticker under date of Apiil 19th last: “My farmer friends, look at every cotton ydatfornj as you pass by and you will see the present (square) bale standing on its head with from two to four great gaping wounds at the mercy of these who want to pilfer. The number of bales in Texas taken from the original runs up into the thousands. I remember during the session of the last legislature, when the bill known as the Compress Bill was being discussed in the committee room, a gentleman from Gal veston, who was opposing the measure, in answer to a question asked by me (one of the committee), how many bales of cotton were made by the compresses in Galveston that were taken from the orig inal bales compressed he an swered, ‘About six thousand bales.’ ’* And yet there are those who decry the American Cotton Company’s Roundlap bale, from which there is not one ounce of waste and which reaches the mill ex actly as it leaves the press. Fine Corn. Mr. I). P. Camp says be bas a piece of corn that was planted the 18th of May that stands about twenty two inches apart in the drill and will average nine feet high, with an occasional tassel beginning to show. This corn was made with eleven furrows to the row, after planting, and with one hoeing to thin it out. It has had only three little show ers, the heaviest one not wetting the ground more than one inch. Should you like to see this corn, he informs us you had better bring your lantern along with you for there is such a thing as one get ting lost when you get ir* it. I don’t know that you will see stars in daylight but very probably you may see lightning bugs. He says the secret about this fine piece of corn is the land was prepared with a Tiger Disc plow and you will do well to see him before purchasing. —Winder Populist. To Cleanse the System Effectually yet gently, when costive or bilious, to permanently overcome habit ual constipation, to awaken the kidneys and liver to a healthy activity, without irritating or weakening them, to dispel headaches, colds, or fevers, use Syrup of Figs, made by California Fig Syrup Co. Would Do All Right As the time approaches for the elec tion of an ordininary for Jackson county, the Democratic party is naturally look ing for a man to occupy that responsible position. It would gratify many Dem ocrats here to see Mr. J. N. Ross filling that office. His service to the party in the past demands recognition, while a better man, and one more competent to fill the place, cannot be found in the county. Being naturally a man of fine common sense, and having been admitted to the bar, he is doubly fitted for this position of responsibility.—Herald. At this Season of the year there are always many deaths, particularly among children, from summer complaint, diar rhea, dysentery, cholera morbus, cramps, etc., and every one ought to know that a sure and speedy cure can easily be ob tained by taking Perry Davis’ Pain- Killer in sweetened water every half hour.

Last Wednesday Uncle John Gam lin brought in a 85-gallon copper vessel to Col. Price which was used in the mint at this place long before the war, which has been in his settlement since the year aftei the surrender. Hundreds of gal lons of syrup have been made in it. Col. Price paid five dollars in gold for it many years ago, who loaned it to Uncle Johnnie Seitz, who is now dead and the boiler has been returned to its owner. Doubtless some liquor has been made in it as it bas been stolen several times. —Nugget. Keep the Stomach and Bowels in good condition, the Waste Avenues open and free by an occasional dose of Dr. M.
